Here's The Icing on the Cake

Overly focused, it's far from the time to rest now Debates growin' 'bout who they think is the best now? Took a while, got the jokers out of the deck now I'm holdin' all the cards and dudes wanna play chess now I hear you talking, say it twice so I know you meant it Fuck it, I don't even tint it, they should know who's in it I'm authentic, real name, no gimmicks No game, no scrimmage, I ain't playin' with you dudes at all

Manipulation By Restraint

Have you ever had the feeling of being verbally handcuffed?

That is, to protect your best interests? But really all you want to do is get a huge sign with what you actually want to say (in bold letters, of course!) and hit it over the head of the person you're intending to give this message to.

I'm talking about that raging feeling that  handcuffs you. 

Normally I don't give a shit, and I'd find a way to say it... But sometimes the move is not ours to make. 

And I hate that shit because I feel like I'm a slave to one of the many social scripts that exist today. 

Theory #2

Everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something...

I'm at a point of my life where I need to figure out how to be myself, while at the same time, being courteous. I like social psychology but I hate talking to people. Especially small talk with people. That drives me INSANE. I feel at this age, I'm now fine-tuning the person I think I am, when around people/in public. I have no more of a reason to pretend to please anyone. I know where my priorities are and who deserves my energy. This is what I think being in your 20s is all about. Finding that balance between "letting people in" and "keeping people at a certain level" I feel like as a person, that I'm natural assortment of "rational", "sarcastic", sometimes "belligerent" (towards certain people), and "humorous". Take that however you want. Or don't take it. It won't make any difference to me.
